Google Page Speed Optimizer
for Magento 2

Magento 2 Speed Optimization improves web pages performance in order to place your store at the top of Google search rating. Boost your webstore traffic by the speed optimization and get an endless stream of new visitors!

PREVENT YOUR STORE FROM LOSING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS

It’s not a secret, that stores with a slow speed loading are affected by the Google RankBrain algorithm now. Meanwhile, no one wants to look for goods beyond the first page of search results. The study of Advanced Web rankings shows that websites on the first search results page receive almost 95% of web traffic, leaving only 5% for the remaining pages. In the end, if your store isn’t optimized well, Google will pessimize it and you won’t get as many potential customers as you can.

Challenge

Nowadays Google takes into account a page speed as the main ranking factor for mobile and desktop searches. Pages delivering the slowest user experience are out of the game. The same speed standards touch all developers. It means that only stores with a fast loading speed and an optimised performance will get the highest places in a Google search engine ranking and can extinguish competitors.

Solution

Magento 2 Speed Optimization Extension makes a store performance friendly both for users and search engines. It helps to increase your ranking in Google PageSpeed Insights. Visitors won’t leave your store because of the unforgivably long loading. Meanwhile the Google Rankbrain will index your store faster and get you the highest places in Google search results. Don’t miss the opportunity to increase conversions!

HOW TO EVALUATE YOUR STORE PAGES PERFORMANCE

Although there is no tool that directly indicates whether a page is affected by the Google mobile and desktop ranking factor, here is a resource that can be used to evaluate a page’s performance. It’s a Google PageSpeed Insights, a tool, that indicates how well a webpage performs and suggests performance optimizations. We can congratulate you if your site score is higher than 90 points! But if the result is below 90, we recommend you to try Magento 2 Performance Optimization extension for saving your potential customers.

When you run Amasty JS optimization, the module automatically launches JS files merging, bundling, minifying, and other actions you don’t need to do manually. Reduce JS code weight and requests to render web page content faster.

Make on-the-fly code compression

Magento 2 Speed Optimization reduces HTML, CSS and JS code by 10-20% without affecting its content. Extra whitespaces, line breaks, comments and block delimiters will be removed, so a web browser can operate these files faster.

Merge CSS and JS into one single file

Combine external CSS and JS files into one. On the one hand, it helps to reduce the number of requests. On the other hand, merged CSS and JS files are cached, which stops a browser from loading one file several times.

Move JS to the page bottom

Not all of the JS scripts are needed to render a web page correctly, besides some of them weight a lot. As soon as the feature is activated, JS files are moved to the page bottom of the HTML body. Defer JS files loading till the end of a page rendering to fix render-blocking issues.

Defer fonts and print CSS files loading

Optimize a critical rendering path and improve a first contentful paint by loading fonts and print CSS files at the end. These files are non-critical for a page rendering and can be load after all principal files. It’s possible to exclude specific fonts you don’t want to apply the feature to from deferring.

Sign static files

Let the extension invalidate the browser cache for static resources. After the Google Page Speed Optimizer feature is activated, a browser will update cache files automatically to prevent issues related to browsers serving up old static resources. At the same time, visitors will always see the latest changes you have done.

Use asynchronous indexing

Try asynchronous indexing to distinguish traffic patterns on the database level to avoid conflicts between read and write operations in the corresponding tables. You can store and index order data asynchronously. Orders are placed in temporary storage and moved in bulk to the Order Management grid without any collisions.

Images compression

Let a browser deliver a web pages content faster with fever bytes to download. It helps to enhance the user experience and attract new customers by improving seo-positioning.

Convert images to Webp

Adjust resolutions

Choose a resize algorithm

Compress JPEG images

Lighten PNG and GIF images

Optimize images in bulk

Make images lighter by Webp format

Apply this function to your store, and Magento 2 Performance Optimization extension will create a copy of every image in Webp format. Webp images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs.

Create images in smaller resolutions

When a user makes a purchase using a mobile or a tablet device it’s a no worth to load a high resolution image on a small display. The extension automatically creates copies of images suitable for mobile and tablet devices. Using smaller resolutions positively influence a Google rank for mobiles.

Automatically resize images

It’s possible to choose between a resize or a crop image algorithm. When you resize, images will be cut proportionally to the originals, but become smaller in pixels. When you crop, you cut a part of the image, changing its width. Make sure the pictures on your product pages are displayed appropriately.

Choose JPEG compression strategy

Magento 2 Performance Tuning extension allows you to compress JPEG images with 100, 90 or 80% of quality saving. Choose a middle ground between a higher quality or a lower weight of images.

Try the optimization tool for PNG and GIF images

The PNG and GIF optimization is a powerful tool for compressing the size of your images and photos while maintaining a high quality with almost no difference before and after compression. Cut the weight of your images up to 67%!

Optimize images automatically

The feature helps to optimize images from the Catalog or Wysiwyg folder automatically. During a page loading, images from these folders will be processed, compressed and saved to the cache. Besides, you can activate an optimization queue for any folder with images. Reduce store loading time using lightened pictures.

Speeding up of loading process

Use Magento 2 Speed Optimization to defer an initialization of an object until the point at which it is needed. Accelerate web pages loading and prevent your store with long catalog pages full of images from lagging.

Lazy load images

Choose a lazy load strategy

Customize lazy loading process

Preload images when needed

Avoid visitors’ leaving because of a long waiting time

Load images on websites asynchronously only when they appear in the browser’s viewport.This means that if users don’t scroll all the way down, images placed at the bottom of the page won't even be loaded. On a site with a significant number of images, lazy loading could make the difference between users staying or leaving your website.

Select your own loading strategy

Magento 2 Performance Improvement helps you to decide which one of two lazy loading scripts suits your system best. It’s possible to choose between jQuerry Lazy Script or Native JS Lazy Script.

Apply lazy loading to a certain page

Try an advanced option for lazy loading. You can adjust this feature for store pages you want to save the maximum images quality: General, Home, Category, Product and CMS pages. Set a specific customization type for various store pages.

Adjust the preload images number

When you preload, images from above-the-fold content will be processed by a browser as usual. Show customers the maximum image quality for a perfect first impression of your store view. You can exclude incompetible with lazy load images from the feature action mentioning a special blocks’ content in order to avoid errors.

Product questions

I have installed the third-party tools on the server to optimize images and I still get “Image Optimization Tool is not installed” message.

If a tool has been installed on the server and the extension still shows the message “Image Optimization Tool is not installed”, the correct path to the tool should be specified in the extension file. See all the details in a complete answer.

I had some prob with js bundling. I have several stores in 1 admin, and js bundling didn’t work on all the sites. Most of them ran, but 2 most popular hardly loaded. I reported, and the support fixed it in just a day.

Site flies

My store was too heavy, so I couldn’t even use your exit popup because it would upload too slowly. I ran full optimization and raised rank from 45 to 68. That’s a start.

Top quality images speed

When choosing a mod, i look at resized pics first of all. This one was one of 4 that don’t spoil image quality. But on other mods the colors in 3 sizes were a bit different. Here it’s all of good quality+loading speed is bigger.

Cool for mobile

I tried each and every way to speed up my site, nothing worked. After manual!!! pic resizing, I saw prodpics didn’t participate in purchases and m traffic fell by. Then I found you guys added webp and I just breathed out. If even firefox-ers supported, I have nothing but wait for the next gen avif. tnx!

Need a fix

Actually, psi results depend on many things and you can’t really deny we all have limits, and so does magenta. I had some installations fixes, I’d say so, cause though the module had things to work at, the support solved them in a min. The good thing is they offered me a refund, so your money is safe anyway.

My score in google insights was 67, after I installed the extension got 92. I really think that's a win!

Higher score achieved

After migration my site was slow. For you to understand it, delay of a page load was about 3 seconds. Failure. I got to nub of issue ran test with Google, enabled add-on, ran test again and saw what I had at start and in the end. Special thanks for lazy load and ‘ignoring’ field, as some of my new theme elements does really have this out of box.

Reliable vendor

Eventually I moved JS to footer with no subsequent problems. It’s just that I tried same-purpose plugin from another vendor and faced big, I’d rather said huge, troubles for greater price, by the way. This one did faster and cheaper.

speeded up my site

In search of better solution to speed up Magento, I tried many SEO extensions from different developers. However, none of them did these exact simple things with code. One thing about switching it on, I'm not a techie, so running commands in console wasn’t for granted but that’s turned to be easiest part for my admins.

5 stars

This drastically improved our site speed, we had to contact Amasty to help with some issues and settings, their developers quickly identified the problems and resolved these without any hassle. We are confident this mod will help with our bounce rate going forward. Support from Amasty is fast and efficient. They will always respond to you within no more than 24 hours. If there is any delay in resolving a problem they will keep you updated which goes a long way. Support is what I would want, expect and then more.

It does everything said

It compressed js an’ images weight an' on the whole it resulted in higher score in gps insights. Plugin did everything said but don’t forget that there are far more factors influencing site performance. When solved smaller issues, I got to do something with server environment, as response time was too slow even at least loaded hrs. So, reviewing store settings, database performance are also not a waste at all. I agree with Oscar that webP support would be fantastic.

Tricky installation but worth it's money

Seems good. Does the module defer offscreen images? And do you plan to include webP support for chrome?

New we added a new feature for image optimization - 'User Agent'. If enabled it allows to set separate 'preload' feature for Mobile, Tablet and Desktop devices and to use WebP+Resize+LazyLoad features for the same one image at once as well

New images optimization was moved to separate grid - now you can choose optimization options for particular folders on your server. Please, navigate to the ‘Content>Google Page Speed Optimizer>Image Folder Optimization Settings’

Improvement we improved the 'Image Optimization' tab on the extension's general settings page making it more clear and comfortable to use
